善惡之間 誰才是真正的惡黨？
在偵探社工作的佐伯修一，接受一對老夫婦的委託，調查當年殺害兒子的兇手，此人已經離開少年監獄重返社會。
我想知道究竟該不該赦免這個人。如果該赦免他的話，我希望你們能找出讓我接受的理由。
原先不太願意接受委託的佐伯，卻在偵探社社長木暮的命令下展開調查。其實，佐伯的姊姊在他小時候也慘遭殺害，他本身亦為被害人家屬。因此，在他陸續經手幾宗「犯罪加害人的追蹤調查」，面對加害人與被害人家屬之間，激起了佐伯的動機，決定追查當年殺害姊姊兇手的現況……
──殺害你姊姊的兇手，要讓你看到他們什麼狀況才會覺得可以原諒他們？
犯罪被害人遺屬要拿什麼來原諒罪過呢？
若是你的話，有辦法原諒嗎？

Wicked Gang revolves around a narrator whose older sister was raped and murdered from years ago. A decade after his sister's murder, the young man now works for a small private eye company and his boss came up with the idea of helping victims of violent crime (or the victims' own families) to track down the whereabouts of the released-criminals.
Reluctant to take these cases, our narrator encounters family members of the victims: some of the victims were killed, some raped, some tricked out of their entire fortune, in one case a man was left by his irresponsible mother for death years ago and he wants to know where she is now; and the narrator also tracks down the criminals who had wronged those victims.
As the narrator works on his cases one by one, he comes to discover more clues about his sister's murderers (who had long been released from prison after serving no more than 10 years of jail time due to their young age). Burnt with a strong desire for revenge, what action will the young man take in the end?
The idea of the victims' families tracking down former criminals is an intriguing one. Once again Gaku Yakumaru brings up the questions of guilt, crime and punishment, redemption and forgiveness, good and evil through his writing, and I like how Mr. Yakumaru never gives you a simple black and white answer. In his stories, the difference between good and evil, guilty or not guilty is always shrouded with a lot of grey.
It is a thoughtful, fast paced and entertaining novel with a surprising ending at the very end. I strongly recommend you to read it.
